Petals and Plot Twists (Only Magic in the Building)

by Jenny Proctor

I don’t mind talking to people. But I’m generally comfortable with my own company, so I don’t often think about putting myself out there.

The more I think about my future, the more I’m coming to accept the uncomfortable reality that if I am ever going to fall in love with someone else, Sophie’s going to have to break my heart first. And that won’t ever happen if I don’t try.

That’s the hard part about being a parent. You do your best to handle your problems, to shield your kids, but there’s always fallout.”

Like I’m so incredibly lucky that I get to have my very best friend be my boyfriend, too. I’ll never take that for granted.
